Mentorship Minutes: Chris Ricks, “Ethical Decision Making” – comes from your morals.
In the military and life we face “Ethical Dilemmas” or moments of choice where we have to
make ethical decisions. Ethics is doing the right thing when no one is looking. The Air
Force Standards book, AFI 1-1, “Little Blue” defines military ethics as - practicing the
highest standards of conduct and integrity, not only in your job, but also in your relationships
with other people, in your personal financial dealings, and in your interaction with the
civilian community. Your code of ethics must be such that your behavior and motives do not
create even the appearance of impropriety. Your commitment to integrity will lead the way
for others to follow.
